Hi all,

Just after a bit of advice, The car is a GTR R33 Skyline.

The items that are fitted is

N1 Turbos

exhaust - Just fap front pipe, highflow metal cat and cat back Kakimoto Regu 06&R.

Blitz SUS Pods

Trust FMIC

Have bought ready to install....

Greddy profec 2

Tomei Cam gears...

and

Power FC and controller

Standered fuel pump, injectors etc etc

Should i change the fuel pump? or injectors? Will the stock GTR items be ok? If need to be changed what would surfice?

Should i look at adding anything??? I want to do as much as i can before the tune so i know it'll all be right.

Just wondering what COULD be expected from this set up??

Thanks

You need both before installing the PowerFC or you'll be wasting your time and money tuning it. You'll max out the injectors before making any meaningful power and the workshop will most likely tell you what everyones told you already.

upgrade your fuel system....

Injectors and fuel pump will go to about 270kw - people say 300kw but it never makes it to there as the are old and tired

I would personally go some bigger injectors and also a new fuel pump - NISMO/TOMEI etc

You've come this far so you might as well put everything on at once and get it all tuned together otherwise you would be just wasting money going back later for more boost + injectors & fuel pump

Yes - Although the 040 might require you to modify the cradle to make it fit - had to cut the bottom of the cradle off in my GTST

TOMEI pumps go in way easier - use the stock fittings/mountings etc and come with new seal and shit

Yes - injectors are piss easy in GTR

there is a DIY somewhere as well

Also with the fuel pumps, all the nismo 276L/H, HKS 280L/H Tomei etc etc all around the same price etc So they all around the same??? or are any better than others??

you might get away with one of those up 350rwkw maybe..yeah yeah I know heaps of ppl are making that on standard pumps blah blah blah...its about how much power you want know and in the end run, sure you can use it as a lift pump in the next upgrade but then that means another tune and more $$$ wasted...just do it rite the first time and be done with it, run new fuel lines like 3/8" lines again ppl say standard is fine but think 3/8" or 10mm is 20% bigger in size than standard...

At the moment greenline has a special on SARD injectors, so i was thinking some 700cc. Will they do the job?? As there the same price as the 660cc ones

Nismo and HKS are better pumps than Tomei. A few ppl have said Tomei's lose voltage at high RPM and the engine leans out.

GET the pump and injectors. As soon as i cranked the boost (from stock to 12psi) the pump started to die.

Pump change is a DIY job, i'm not a mechanic and i got the old pump out easy. Injectors give the DIY sectin a read.

Get injectors that suit what you need from them. No use getting 1,000,000cc's when i.e. 660cc will suffice.

Don't put a junky Bosche 040 in your GTR if you want to make good decent power and reliably.

Get a Nismo 275lph @ 72psi pump. It will fit it like a glove and require no modifications. Oh, and you won't have pickup issues either.

    • A question for tuning awd, is it possible to disable the AWD? The stagea is an EA/T AWD, Toshi had said on a GTR, he was able to disable it and make it 2wd. Just wanted to double check if this was possible
    • Whoa, that's a name I've not see for a long time! Sorry to hear about the engine / turbo damage.  Fwiw with any engine problems it often really a case of just seeing what happens when it's apart, ymmv - I wouldn't rule out the possibility that the damage isn't even from the turbo failure, or possibly from a combination.  The airflow between cylinders isn't dead even, injectors can go off over time as well, with the turbos overboosting if you didn't have upgraded fuel system there could have possibly been a bit of leaning out - stock triggering is often a bit unreliable by this age too.  Basically its an old engine and a few things could have been going on, and you won't know how much work is needed until the engine is apart.  
    • I'm just shocked there's a euro driver on our roads who is thinking of other road users and not attempting to blind everyone. I wonder if Prank uses his indicator too...
    • Its hard to tell really. The Q50 owner's forum talks about it a lot and has quite a few people directly affected, but no idea what % of cars sold actually had the block replaced. Also, there seem to be 2 distinct issues which both get diagnosed by Infiniti as requiring a block replacement (no wonder they are going broke) 1. "Porous block" where coolant mixes with oil through thin or poorly cast parts of the block 2. Head coolant gallery plugs not sealing. If I was noticing engine coolant loss I'd start with cooling system pressure test (as always) and then I'd pull the cam covers and reseal the coolant gallery plugs on both side before worrying about a potentially porous block.  If neither of those did the trick it would be put in a second hand engine out of japan; I haven't checked pricing but I'm sure there are plenty around by now as they've been in production 10+ years
    • To clarify what I posted above, I thought you both had a situation where it cancelled sooner one way than the other.....if it is reasonably even where it cancels in either direction that is probably normal (consider gentle movements like lane changes, you don't want it to need half a turn of lock to turn the indicators off)
